How to Control the Inbox Monster with Gmail

WATCH + LEARN

1. SET YOUR EMAIL SIGNATURE

2. CREATE LABELS TO CATEGORIZE EMAILS

3. SORT WITH FILTERS

Here's why you might want to consider filtering your email:

  • Automatically apply labels to categorize incoming messages, such as customer feedback or project-related messages.
  • Getting messages you don’t need right now, like forum posts or newsletters? Let Gmail automatically archive them so you can keep a clean inbox and read them later.
  • Flag VIP emails.
  • Archive notifications.

4. SNOOZE YOUR EMAIL

5. CANNED RESPONSES

TRY IT NOW!

  1. Create an email signature.
  2. If you don't have labels currently established in Gmail, create at least one.
  3. If you don't have filters currently created, create at least one.
  4. Take a look at your inbox. Any emails that can be snoozed? Do it!
  5. If you don't currently have a canned response created, do so now.
  6. Send me an email at sdemichele1210@gmail.com with the following:
  • Your email signature
  • In the body: tell me about a label you created, a filter you created, and a canned response you created.
